Which one is correct?
"I was getting roasted" or "I'ms getting roasted"?

I was getting roasted

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

This phrase is used to describe a situation where someone is being teased or criticized harshly by others in the past.

Examples:

  • I was getting roasted by my friends for my terrible dance moves.
  • Last night, I was getting roasted at the comedy club.
  • When I made a mistake, I was getting roasted by my boss.
  • During the game, I was getting roasted by the opposing team.
  • At the party, I was getting roasted for my fashion choices.

I'ms getting roasted

This phrase is not correct in English. It combines "I'm" with an unnecessary "s" and is not a standard construction.

The correct phrase is "I was getting roasted." The use of the past tense "was" is appropriate in this context to indicate that the roasting was happening in the past. The second phrase, "I'ms getting roasted," is incorrect because it combines "I'm" (short for "I am") with an unnecessary "s". It is not a standard or correct construction in English.
